The First 90 Days: Part 2

Rebuilding After the First 90 Days

This episode explores the part of healing that rarely gets talked about — the space where survival mode finally quiets, and real healing begins. The phase where you’re no longer just getting through the day, but trying to understand who you are now. This conversation dives into rebuilding life after trauma, grieving the version of yourself that never got to feel safe, and untangling your identity after an abusive relationship. It speaks to why healing is not linear, why grief can surface even when you’ve made the “right” decision, and why simply existing can feel harder than surviving at first. This episode is for anyone navigating life after abuse, questioning who they are outside of survival mode, or learning how to trust their body and instincts again. Healing isn’t a straight line — and choosing to keep going is an act of self-empowerment.

Outside Looking In: How My Story Became Hers Too

For the first time, my mom joins me to talk about what it was like to watch my story unfold from the outside looking in — the fear she carried, the signs she recognized, and the moments she worried she might lose me. We talk about: • What she saw that I couldn’t • The trauma she survived that shaped how she parented me • The fear of watching your child repeat patterns you know too well • The weight parents carry while their kids are surviving abuse • How our healing has become something we’re doing together This is a raw, honest, emotional conversation about mother–daughter survival, generational patterns, and the realities families live through behind closed doors. If you’ve ever been the daughter who hid her pain… or the mother who carried it anyway — this episode is for you. 💜

The First 90 Days: Part 2

Part Two takes you deeper into the first 90 days — opening up the parts of my story I used to keep tucked away. These are the moments that shaped my healing, my strength, and the version of me I didn’t know existed yet. It’s honest. It’s real. And my hope is that it reminds you of one thing: You are not alone in your story. 💜

The First 90 Days

Leaving wasn’t the end of the abuse — it was the beginning of the quietest, loneliest, most terrifying chapter of my life. In this episode, I take you into the first 90 days after I left: • the silence that felt louder than the abuse • the night my infant daughter was taken and the system shrugged • weaponized CPS calls • what survival actually looks like when no one is coming to save you This is the part most survivors never talk about — because this is the part that nearly breaks you. If you’ve ever wondered why survivors stay quiet, why they don’t “just leave,” or why the early days are the most dangerous… this episode tells the truth. To anyone in your own first 90 days: You’re not imagining it. You’re not weak. You’re surviving something most people will never understand. And you are not alone anymore. 💜 Part Two continues next week.

The Aftermath: What Leaving Really Looks Like

Leaving wasn’t the end of my story — it was the beginning of the hardest chapter. In this episode, I talk about what “after” really looks like: the fear, the financial collapse, the custody battles, the stalking, the moments I thought I wouldn’t survive… and the grit it took to rise anyway. For anyone rebuilding from nothing — this one’s for you! 💜
